Abstract

Toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domain-containing proteins are conserved across kingdoms, and their mechanistic understanding holds promise for basic plant biology and agriculture. Here, we discuss the novel enzymatic TIR domain functions of nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat receptors (NLRs) in cell death, and posit how TIR domain-containing effectors mechanistically subvert host immune systems.
